Thank you Caitlin and Stephanie for such a fab idea and for sharing it with us!

So, what do you think?

I know, I know, I go overboard, but can you blame mommy?

Hope to share with you the actual party soon!

Wish us luck and praying for NO RAIN that day!

Have a Great Weekend !

P.S. It's a bit ironic that we'll be celebrating on this Saturday here in the U.S. while in the Philippines, my grandmother, who passed away on Monday, will be buried. I have mixed feeling right now but I know my Lola Mila (Grandmother) will understand our joy in her great grand daughters milestone celebration. I pray for Lola everyday and thanks to "e-burol" I am able to attend her wake everyday until her actual funeral day. I will remember and love you always lola, you've given us so much and asked nothing in return. I know you are happy now with Lola in heaven. I know you will watch over all of us everyday.

Love the theme and invitation, Sophia is such a cutie! I can't wait to see all the details you're gonna add, I know your attention to detail. Time flies, she's already one! I'm sure your Grandma will be right there with you.

Vel, I am so sorry to hear about your Grandmother...She would definitely want you to be celebrating Sophia's birthday. It looks like it will be QUITE a party! Hugs to sweet Sophia on her birthday! xoxo

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, Vel. You are absolutely allowed to have a big bash, momma--making it through the first year is a big milestone. Love the flamingo theme, and Sophia is beyond adorable! Can't wait to see the party pics!

I can't believe your beautiful girl is one already! Fun theme and I know it will be detailed to perfection! Have a blast and hugs and kisses to Sophia. So sorry about your grandmother Vel- she would love to be at this party so celebrate for her! Xo Nancy

Oh I'm sorry your grandmother passed. It's so nice that the internet can allow us to have a sense of being there isn't it. Hard to believe it's already one year! Those invitations are the cutest. I love that poster- how cute to make little captions about where she is in her development stages. I'm more than sure your grandmother would want you to go ahead and celebrate. You are celebrating her life and your childs which is wonderful!

Vel, my condolences on the loss of your Grandmother. It's funny how things happen sometimes, and I think this situation is a reminder that our loved ones live on in us and our babies. Thanks so much for sharing this special post at Five Star Frugal. Love, Mimi xxx

Vel, I am sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing. Sending you love and light beautiful. On a positive note, I love, love the party invitation and everything you shared! There's no such thing as going overboard-can't wait to see the pics!

My granddaughter is also Sophia, celebrated her first birthday this past June and has a great grandmother in the Philippines! I'm so sorry for the loss of your Lola Mila. I know it will.be bittersweet celebrating your Sophia's birthday.

Vel, a bittersweet day for sure. Happy birthday to your darling and beautiful Sophia! I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. It's fitting that you were having a celebration that day, for her and for her great grand daughter! XO

Oh wow, the party preparations look awesome. Eagerly looking forward to the party! Hey, I also need to host an international corporate event. I wonder if you could help by sharing some decent theme ideas!!
